A male kestrel lands on a perimeter fence adjacent to the flightline, March Air Reserve Base, Calif., June 18, 2026. Kestrel on March have increased due to peak breeding and nesting season from April to September. As part of the Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard program, USDA Wildlife Biologists continuously monitor the airfield for wildlife activity, disperse flocks, conduct wildlife depredation, perform bird activity surveys, disease testing, and coordinate with flying units to provide bird activity heat maps and times to lower strike-incidence opportunities.
